Why do frame and lens prices differ between stores? The main reasons are the frame material and origin and the lens type.

Hello

Brand eyewear online store

This is METRONOME Tokyo Online.

This time, we will be looking at lenses and frames purchased at the store.

I will explain why the prices differ .

(*Please consider this as just one of many factors.)

First, the frame

Affordable ones cost less than 10,000 yen including the lens.

It is not uncommon for the frame alone to cost 30,000 to 50,000 yen.

I think the main reason is the materials and the place of origin .

Titanium and Japanese-made products in particular tend to be expensive.

Even plastic frames require skill to process.

The list price for this type of frame can exceed 50,000 yen.

Frame thickness, solidity, transparency, etc.

Considering your preferences and budget,

I think it's best to choose.

It's better not to use a common frame,

If you want to customize it for yourself,

Use of so-called mid-level to high-end stores

I think it would be good to consider it.

If you don't have any particular preferences and are concerned about cost performance,

Affordable frames available at chain stores

I think it's good to choose.

On the other hand, regarding lenses

The price varies greatly depending mainly on whether the lens is aspherical or spherical .

Aspherical lenses are

Reduces visual distortion compared to spherical lenses,

It provides a more natural and clearer view.

The slim design also improves comfort.

However, the processing requires skill, which makes it more expensive.

If there is any additional performance,

This makes the lens more expensive.

Also,

The price also varies depending on the strength.

If you need stronger lenses

It is said that it is better to choose lenses that are less likely to cause distortion, such as aspherical lenses.

If it's an aspherical lens, it should be available at chain stores.

If you care about cost performance, this is recommended.

In addition,

" Lens data " is required to create prescription lenses.

This is also known as an eyeglass prescription .

This is what you need to create your own personalized lens.

You can have your eyes measured at an optician's,

You can also get it from your eye doctor.

When using prescription lenses for the first time

We recommend that you undergo a variety of eye tests, including visual acuity tests, at an ophthalmologist.

Then, based on your eyeglass prescription, a skilled eyeglass store will

By having lenses made, the strain on the eyes was reduced.

We believe we can create a lens just for you.

Because it is an important matter,

With the staff of a trusted eyeglass store

It's best to create it in consultation.

Well then.
